Looks like you are having an OpenGL problem like me. Have you updated your drivers? What video card and OS do you have?

Its hard to understand exactly what is going wrong. Is this the entire console log? Does the program flash for a second and then stop? What happens?

And yes, if all else fails, try updating OpenGL/DirectX/your video drivers, etc..

Theres something else you can try to see if it's your opengl drivers. from your torque directory, open up the file "demo/client/prefs.cs" in notepad. you should see a line which says:

$pref::Video::displayDevice = "OpenGL";

change this to:

$pref::Video::displayDevice = "D3D";

and try it again. this switches the rendering from opengl to directx. hopefully this will work for you. but most likely you just need to update your video drivers.

comes up on starting showtool pro and still nothing happening with the main demo

Updated nevidia drivers and direct ex and still nothing happened. and still getting the above error for show tool on startup.

Any Idea why the TGEA demo works and I can mess with it. While the TGE demo wont even load?

Well it's highly likely that you have a video card/driver issue with OpenGL. TGE uses OpenGL and TGEA uses DirectX.

What happens when you do as Sean instructed and switch TGE to its DirectX layer? Also, are you sure that's where the console stops? Could you double check and re-post its contents if anything has changed.

The Show Tool Pro error is interesting, seems TGE is trying to resort to Glide which is ancient - reinforces the fact that you have an OpenGL problem. NVIDIA just released new drivers today, which driver version are you currently running?

NVidia Videocard Driver 93.71

Is what I have Installed. actually got so far as to load the error above this time log file is the same.

Will try the "ForceWare Release 162.18" next

Still no luck. Only go's up to point of that error:

ther is no prefs.cs in Demo/Client or anywhere

This is really annoying, as Torque Game Engine or Torque Game Engine Advanced look exactly like what I want in a game engine. Ihave the game worked out I just want to be able to build it! dont want to pay money for something that wont work.!!

Have you tried setting TGE to use DirectX?

There's a post above by Sean H that explains how.

Here it is again:

Demo/client/prefs.cs does not exist

there is no Prefs.cs anywher in the demo install

Edit: I just downloaded the 1.5 demo, I forgot that they don't have the starter.fps demo in there anymore, it's just a feature walkthrough now.

Anyhow, the file you want is "Torque Game Engine 1.5.2 Demo\demo\client\defaults.cs" - the script setup in the demo is different than the licensed SDK.

Make sure you run the "DeleteDSOs" batch file after you make the script change (it's in the same directory as the exe).

No example folder

installed 1.4.2 found a pref in C:\Program Files\Torque Game Engine Demo\tstpro\common\client\prefs.cs

changed as above and nothing happens at all not even an error, except in showtool and its the same error the glide2x.dll one.

Redownloaded 1.5.2 in case it was wrong, installed it, changed demo\client\defaults.cs to D3D and still getting the error. and I did run the "DeleteDSOs" batch file

No idea. maybe theres some kind of bug in 1.5.2. theres nothing really you can do beyond updating your video card drivers. it really should work. tge works on almost any videocard you throw at it. I have an old radeon 7k which is about 10 years old and torque runs on it like a champ. if you have windows xp it should run fine. dont kow what to tell you.

Am I the only one who is having this extremely annoying problem??
Has anyone else had problems getting to work straigh off and how did you overcome theses problems.
